(I don't know much)

(About this thing called love)

(But I'm willing to try)

(I don't know much about it either, baby)

(But if you're willing)

(Then so am I)

It all started in the mexican streets

And ended up in these L.A. blocks

That's where the love was released

Me and Duke were products of those

Immigrant antique ways

Where men are men and the cowards take back seats

And that's deep

Street education my dad teached

It ain't the gangs in the hood

But cops that harassed me

He said, money wouldn't last me long

Enjoy family before they get the passin on

I grew up on the 17th block of Pico Union

A rough life

But good times always keep it moving

I stayed down with mom and pop

My blood

Big Duke, Richie and Lil Jake, that's one love

I never express my love with a hug and kiss

More like a, fuck you and a diss

This life is a gift

Before I looked at it like it was a shit

'Cuz of the way we grew up

Mistreated as kids

Must've called it tough love

Or called it being real with each other

Never cared about those enemies

Or undercover

The escape was the streets

Where the kids felt like me

Constantly got into beef

There's no one to blame for all mistakes

And pain we went through

And made our folks feel too

So whenever I did something wrong

Moms I blamed it on you

Though you had no idea

Of what your son would do

There ain't no city like my city in this whole world

There ain't nobody like my sons and our baby girls

I thank god up above for this lifetime

And I got love for my women in the night time

Yeah!

And it's still all good

I grew up in the ghetto but I love my hood

Now this is how it is and this is how it's always gon' be

Me and my fam till we RIP

And I'm surprised that I'm still breating

It's another day that I've cheated death

Sometimes it feels like there's nothing left

Take care of your mother wept giving you your first breath

I was blessed with this life that I lived

Could've died as a kid

All the wild shit we did

Then jumping from a bridge

Smoking and drinking shit

I don't know what I was thinking

Mom and Pops couldn't watch my whole life

All the stress, drugs, and fights

Prolly thought I wasn't right

But in life everything comes full circle

Now we raising boys and girls

That we brought into this world

We were them young boys

Out there pullin pistols

No one ever said that your loved ones might miss you

Thank the family that made me

'Cuz they raised me with the stree smarts that saved me

(About this thing called love)

(But I'm willing to try)

(I don't know much about it either, baby)

(But if you're willing)

Now that I've survived

Twenty something years of my life

I can see things much more clear

I can live in the dark

And give light to those in need

I remember Jack giving my first SP

Everyday I was making beats

Try to master these beats

To see where it would lead

Like after 5 years they gave me my seed

Now I'm praying real hard for my family

We learned tough love on these streets

Sometimes seems we never had much

So we break the law just to eat

Now I put my life to a beat

Ain't shit changed though

Thats how the game go

Thought if I stayed away from the guns and crime waves

I'll be saved at the end of the day

But you find that this world Just ain't nothing nice

I'll survive on what I learned early on in my life
